True, as long as you have the right parts and can read and follow instructions. There's a long list of "don't do's" that if eliminated will definetley make for a car as you describe. Best addressed on a new thread.

I don't get how they don't cost as much to run as an auto?

[Mike Pearson]

I have run both and a stick is much more expensive and labor intensive to race. The fun factor for a stick is way high and makes up for some of that. If you are competitive and want to go rounds you are better off with the auto. There are a select few stick racers that go many rounds but they are fewer and farther between than autos.

AMEN BROTHER ME TOO! My 65 SS Mustang was orginally a stick and it about broke me in more ways than one so I gave up and converted it to automatic in the mid 70's slowed down a ton but hard work and more dollars got it all back and then some.

Ed, most don't have a clue. Some do. Just because the car goes down the track, is relatively fast and doesn't break anything doesn't mean the clutch is "right". There's a lot of ET in the bellhousing but it takes takes time, work and a considerable amount of money to find it.... and the testing never stops.

I think that to find a LOT of ET in the bellhousing tells me you had to be WAY off at some point. There is ET in the bellhousing .
